Shuart & Associates is Louisiana’s most experienced, cutting-edge, full-service legal search and staffing firm providing services throughout the Gulf South. We specialize in the placement of attorneys, paralegals, and administrative and support staff in direct hire, contract, and temporary positions. In addition, we successfully negotiate practice group mergers.

Our clients are high-caliber law firms and companies. Our trademark, based on more than a decade in the legal marketplace, is in matching complex positions with appropriately skilled and experienced personnel. Our services are paid for by employers with no cost to candidates. 

Our experienced consultants spend a great deal of time each week talking with and listening to hundreds of people who work in the legal field. We develop relationships with these potential candidates understanding their ambitions, expectations, and career goals. This knowledge, coupled with understanding our clients' needs, establishes our point of difference—matching the right individuals to the right jobs for the mutual, long-term benefit of both candidates and client firms.

The Attorney Division provides the recruitment of associates, partners, and practice groups and the staffing of corporate law departments. Just as firms can look alike in Martindale Hubbell, and resumes often appear the same, we identify the characteristics that make up the uniqueness of law firms and candidates we represent. Results? An efficient, better matching process that provides long-term satisfaction for all parties.

• Associates. Associate placement continues to be active in the Gulf South as firms expand their practices to compete in today's marketplace. They want those associates who can help them achieve their goals, and they look to Shuart & Associates to confidentially and efficiently provide talent they might not otherwise attract.

• Partners and Practice Groups. This is an area for which firms turn to us more and more as they expand strategically into new practice or geographical areas. Experience has shown that the services our company offers in providing market research, introductions, and negotiations have proven invaluable in achieving optimum results.

• In-house Positions. As we do for law firms, we locate and match attorneys with positions in corporate law departments for many of the major corporations in this area. We also provide insight to those candidates who want to explore this as a career option. (Go to Job Opportunities.)

Since 1989, Shuart's Legal Support Division has placed hundreds of people in every aspect of law firm support. Results? We make the recruiting and hiring process simple for you by doing the due diligence to find the best candidates.

• Administration. Ask the Administrators in most New Orleans firms how they obtained their positions, and often you'll hear "Shuart." Administrators, accounting managers, technical support personnel, and human resources personnel—we have placed qualified candidates in all of these areas with confidentiality and expertise required to make the best matches for both our clients and our candidates.

• Paralegals. Whether your firm is small or large, or you run a corporate law department, we can locate appropriately experienced paralegals by tailoring a search specifically for your needs. Both beginner and experienced paralegals will find our consultants eager to assist them in finding challenging and rewarding positions. (Go to Job Opportunities.)
  
  
• Legal Secretaries. Testimonials confirm that when it comes to meeting the needs of both our candidates and our clients, our services are superior. "We are thrilled with our new secretary." "It's a year later, and we're still thrilled." "You helped get the exact right job for me." (Go to Job Opportunities.)
  
  
• Other Support Staff. Law firms employ accountants, bookkeepers, computer support personnel, court runners, general clerical personnel, typists, receptionists, and a variety of other support staff. (Go to Job Opportunities.)
